Power train:manual transmission
Problem: Certain my 2001 victory v92 motorcycles, and 1999-2000 v92 motorcycles that received transmission replacement kits built in 2001 can experience a third gear failure in an abnormal overload condition such as when shifting at high rpm.
Risk: While shifting gears at high rpm, the third gear may fail. If pieces of the failed gear become lodged in the transmission, the transmission could lockup possibly resulting in loss of control and a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a rear sprocket damper assembly free of charge. The recall began on november 22, 2006. Owners may contact polaris at 763-417-8650.

I was entering a freeway on ramp accelerating when i had trouble shifting from 3rd gear to 4th. Instead of shifting into 4th it went into a neutral state and nothing in the gear box felt like it was engaging.
I purchased a 1999 victory v92 motorcycle and the third gear immediately malfunctioned. I found a recall to prevent the failure. Does this apply to the failure itself. I spoke with polaris and they want $3400 to repair the bike and then they will complete the recall repairs. *tr
